  10. Enter the Equation Use the  key to enter the function as Y1 . Note that the parentheses in the second term are essential. Make sure that all other functions and plots are turned off. Set the Window Use the  key to set the window as shown. Set Xscl =1 and Yscl =1.

  11. Graph the equation and use TRACE to estimate the zero Press the  key to see the graph. Press  to see the equation and a point on the graph. Use the right arrow  key and the left arrow  key to get close to the x-intercept. Here the x-intercept is close to x = 10.5

  12. Find the x-intercept Press  to access CALC. A CALCULATE screen appears. Press the  key or cursor down to 2: zero and press . You are brought back to the graph screen. You must select a Left Bound to tell the calculator where to look for the x-intercept. To do this, move the cursor somewhere close to the left side of the x-intercept. Press .

  13. Notice that an arrow appears at the top of the screen above your left bound. This is the left bound of the interval that contains the x-intercept. You must select a Right Bound to tell the calculator where to look for the x-intercept. To do this, move the cursor somewhere close to the right side of the x-intercept. Press . Notice that an arrow appears at the top of the screen above your right bound. This is the right bound of the interval that contains the x-intercept.

  14. Next, you must enter a Guess. You can enter a value somewhere within the interval defined by your left and right bounds Finally, press  to see the coordinates of the x-intercept at the bottom of the screen. Note that the TI-83 and TI-83 PLUS call the x-intercept a Zero. This x-value matches the algebraic solution.

  15. Enter the Equation Use the  key to enter the left side of the function as Y1 and the right side of the function as Y2 . Note that the parentheses in the numerator of Y1 are essential. Set the Window Use the  key to set the window as shown. Set Xscl=1 and Yscl=1.

  16. Graph the equations Press the  key to see the graphs. Press  to see the equation of one of the lines. Use the up or down arrow to see the equation of the second line. Use the right arrow  key to get close to the intersection point of the two lines. Note that using  does not necessarily give the exact coordinates of the intersection point.

  17. Find the exact coordinates of the intersection point Press  to access CALC. A CALCULATE screen appears. Press the  key or cursor down to 5:intersect and press . You are brought back to the graph screen.

  18. You must select a First curve to tell the calculator which of the lines you want to use for the intersection. Press . Next you must select a Second curve to tell the calculator which second curve to use for the intersection. Use the up or down arrow key to move to the other line. Press . Next you must enter a Guess. Position the cursor near the point of intersection. Finally, press  to see the coordinates of the Intersection at the bottom of the screen.
